    摘要: A display window is displayed in association with at least one scroll bar at a terminal associated with a first user. Along the shaft of one ore more scroll bars, a distinctive visual location cue, such as a line in a color associated with a second user, is displayed to indicate the relative location within the shared data collection of the current and historical activity of a second user. A user may temporarily prohibit manipulation of a region within the shared data collection by other users by establishing a "lock" on the region. A lock region may comprise several lines of text, a portion of a graphical object, or other data within the shared data collection. To indicate the location of lock regions, lock region location cues are also displayed along the scroll bar. In addition to indicating the location of lock regions, lock region location cues also indicate which user has established a lock region via a distinctive display attribute, preferably a distinctive color associated with the user who established the lock region. The location of a lock region is also indicated within the display area of a window by displaying the lock region with the same distinctive display attribute as the lock region location cue. In addition, when a cursor associated with a user prohibited from manipulating a lock region is located within the lock region, an aspect of the cursor, such as its shape, is altered. A preferred embodiment displays a representation of a key rather than a standard cursor to indicate to a user that his cursor is within a lock region.

    摘要: A controller displays windows on a display. At any one time, one of the windows can be in focus. Each of the windows has an original position and an original size on the display. The controller determines, for each window, an elapsed time since it was in focus, and changes the position and size of each window in proportion to its elapsed time. The controller shrinks each window that is not in focus and moves it away from its original position and toward the boundary of the desktop in proportion to the elapsed time since it was in focus. Thus, the windows that the user is using heavily tend to stay large and near their original position while windows that the user is using lightly tend to shrink and move toward the boundary of the screen.

    摘要: An input device pointer remapping region on a computer display is disclosed. When the input device pointer enters a region on a computer display, such as a rectangular scroll bar region, the pointer advances by jumping to a point within the region, such as the center of the region. Further movements of the pointer through the region are adjusted to increase the likelihood that the pointer will remain in the region. However, these adjustments are performed in such a manner as to not impede the travel of the input device through the region. This allows the input device pointer to stay within regions when appropriate, yet allows it to pass through regions unimpeded when the user so desires. This allows for the more efficient use of valuable display space, and can even allow a scroll bar to fit within a narrow window border. The operation of the pointer within the region is controlled by a remapping factor. Selection of the remapping factor can be modified from region to region. In addition to rectangular regions such as scroll bars and window boundaries, square and circular regions are supported. Complex regions, made up of more than one other regions, are also supported.

    摘要: A method, system, and program product for generating a window scroll-bar. In the preferred embodiment, a controller displays the window scroll-bar on a display screen. The window scroll-bar contains sections associated with respective windows on the display. The window scroll-bar also contains a slider, which moves within a section and between sections. As the slider moves within a particular section, the window associated with that section moves on the display toward the nearest boundary of the display. Thus, by moving the window scroll-bar slider, the user can move overlapping windows out of the way and find the window of interest.

    摘要: A computer system for determining traffic patterns and congestion and using the determined traffic patterns and congestion to determine an appropriate route using a global positioning system and related route map calculator. A vehicle is provided with an onboard computer system adapted to determine travel time of a vehicle in a road segment and calculate a route based on this information. In addition, this information can be distributed to or otherwise shared with other vehicles and similar information can be received from other vehicles to provide a distributed network for generating and sharing experienced traffic patterns. The information can also be used to predict traffic patterns as well.

    摘要: A computer system and method of performing a second chance pointer operation wherein a pointer displayed on a computer display includes at least one alternate hot spot. In response to a pointer event, such as a mouse click, with a default hot spot not overlaying a graphical display element, or graphical user interface (GUI) object (e.g., icon, hypertext link, window tool bar), the object may nonetheless be selected if another hot spot on the pointer overlays the object, e.g., by resignaling the pointer event with the alternate hot spot. Advantageously, the resignaling of the pointer event may include selecting the overlaid GUI object, and/or providing feedback to the user regarding the alternate hot spots.
